Just not for me. Simply put this book makes me think: Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas + 50 Shades of Grey - BDSM

Tate is unlikable to me. She hears from a guy, Miles, that he cannot give her anything but sex. She agrees to sex only. She gets feelings and then projects those feelings onto Miles despite him constantly setting her straight. If they were not having sex, it would be the equivalent of a person pissed about being friend-zoned simply because they had feelings and thought it unfair those feelings were not reciprocated.

The book shows us intermittently the past and present of Miles and his relationship with Rachel and Tate. Due to this I was able to predict, halfway through, a love lost due to death and a man so hurt he closed off his emotions to prevent pain.
